What you'll do
Join poet Becky May for "Here I Am", a poetry workshop designed to help you explore your sense of belonging and reclaim your identity through writing. Becky is a published poet with an MA in Poetry from Manchester Metropolitan University, and she brings real passion for holding community in writing – something you'll feel throughout the session.You'll work through a series of writing prompts inspired by poets like Maya Angelou, Fatimah Asghar, and Zaffar Kunial, each one inviting you to reflect and discover something true about yourself. This is a hands-on, exploratory workshop where you're supported and encouraged as you write. There's no pressure to share or perform – the focus is entirely on your own creative process and what emerges on the page as you work.By the end of the session, you'll have a notebook full of writing and new ideas – pieces that reflect your voice, your experience, and your perspective. It's the kind of workshop that stays with you, offering space to think deeply about who you are and where you belong.Please note: this workshop is for adults only. Bring a notebook and pen with you.
